14 000 Friends!

I've never imagined I'd be that active on Twitter, but life is an unpredictable thing.

Let me tell you about myself a little bit more.

I'm Victor, 32 😱 years old, a web developer from Moscow.

I've been developing since 2000 when I was in school. It's already 10+ years since I've been working full-time.

Now I'm learning & tweeting about UI/UX design. Because I love it ❤️

@IndieHackers

I'm really happy that I discovered Twitter!!! So many awesome people over here.

It all started with @IndieHackers community. When I saw so many cool persons who were doing their products, I decided to make my own.

2️⃣ Many primary buttons

It's considered good practice to have one primary action per page.

You CAN have many buttons, but one of them should be primary.

In the example below two buttons stand out equally and it's hard to decide what button the user should click to.

1️⃣ Aesthetics Over Functionality

Everything in this world needs balance.
